"It does hurt, I don't think I feel frustrated, exactly?"
For a moment, she paused, humming in thought. Mulling it over, examining her feelings and the little tangled knot they made.
"It's more like... like the sadness of a funeral. I guess that's what it literally is, though - my own death, my own funeral. And even then, the hurt softens, sometimes. It's a lot easier to deal with here... in the Seal, it's..."
...Hard to describe. Beyond the clawing and wailing of Erebus, and the quiet presence of Nyx behind her, and that faint familiar presence of death, reminding her why she's there in the first place.
"Admittedly, I don't exactly think very much when I'm in the Seal. It's very... dreamlike. Hazy, like when you're sort of sedated, and you can't really perceive much of anything?" Hamuko shrugged. "I... I was really, really scared when I woke up in the Velvet Room, though. I was so scared that me being here broke the Seal and all my friends would die. And then, oh man, when Igor explained that it was still intact and I was just here to dream and be for a while... well, I wanted to cry from being happy, then."
